9 National Trends Population Growth Driver Shortage National & Local Trends, Strengths, & Challenges Local Strengths Rhode Island has a number of critical freight assets and unique strengths that provide opportunities for continued growth in the future movement of freight into, through and out of our state. Our location between the large metro areas of New York and Boston and on Narragansett Bay, provides a strategic location for distribution facilities serving these markets. Freight Needs & Challenges OPERATIONAL EFFICIENCY One out of every five bridges has been rated structurally deficient; many have weight restrictions The TIP mandates that the Pavement Structural Health Index will be maintained at an average of 80% over the next ten years Davisville pier modernization required Bottlenecks and congestion points on I-95, I-95, I-295 and Routes and 0 Rail bottlenecks at grade crossings and on single track sections In order to capture a growing share of freight movements across the county, support new businesses and local economic growth, and bring goods to local markets, Rhode Island must make strategic investments to increase freight efficiency, capacity and connectivity. Congestion in and around multi-modal port terminals in urban areas Geometric improvements and new policies needed to accommodate larger trucks Hazardous material restrictions on rail freight movements at Providence station Vertical rail clearance issues along NEC Need for safety improvements (truck parking, etc.) Lack of dedicated funding for non-highway modes (e.g. harbor dredging) E-Commerce Regional Distribution Strategies Clean Energy & Alternative Fuels Complete Streets & Sustainable People Movement Autonomous Vehicles Increased Rail Movement New International & Domestic Shipping Lanes HIGHWAYS RAILWAYS MARINE & INLAND PORTS AIRPORTS & AIR Key strengths: We have three interstates and excellent highway access. Recent and planned improvements to Route 0, I-95, the Providence Viaduct, and Routes /0 have and will add capacity. Key Strengths: Rhode Island has access to national and Canadian rail markets, and direct connections to the Ports of Providence and Davisville. The existing rail network can accommodate 28- ton rail cars by the end of 20. Some sections of the Main Line can accommodate double-stacked rail cars. Key Strengths: The Port of Providence is one of only 2 deep water ports in New England. Major terminals are located almost directly off I-95. Local terminals serve unique commodities markets. Recent and planned investments to improve facilities and access for Providence and Davisville. Key Strengths: T.F. Green Airport is located close to high-density urban markets and the interstate highway network. The airport has recently initiated a major runway expansion project. Potential exists for the expansion of air cargo handling capabilities. ECONOMIC GROWTH & COMPETITIVENESS Increasing local truck traffic due to E-commerce, with warehousing and land needed to support regional distribution networks Need for upgraded facilities and access improvements to capitalize on opportunity to handle more cargo at the Port of Davisville and T.F. Green Airport Larger vessels will require dredging to increase depth at the Port of Davisville to Increasing passenger rail traffic on the Northeast Corridor CONNECTIVITY will require eventual freight rail capacity upgrades Imbalanced freight flows, oriented towards inbound shipments, create higher shipping costs. Effective freight planning needed to adapt policies to evolving freight markets and technologies Must actively monitor trends to find niche markets and compete with other ports in the region Lack of dedicated state funding for expansion projects Need for improved local access to accommodate growth at ports, airports and other terminals

A public website was developed and maintained with information about freight planning activities. Stakeholder interviews, focus groups and two public meetings were held to inform the public and to solicit general input. PROJECT PROPOSAL EVALUATION Data analysis and stakeholder interviews helped the FAC steering committee identify potential freight projects by transportation mode. The committee created a set of ranking criteria to prioritize and rank projects. Projects were evaluated based on their potential to address the goals and objectives identified in the planning process. The result was a final list of recommended investments identified for inclusion in the state freight plan. Join the Freight Advisory Committee Help us determine where we go next ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF PROPOSED PROJECTS The State conducted an economic impact analysis and a benefit-cost analysis on a selection of priority projects that represented each different freight mode: I-95 Northbound Viaduct /0, I-95 Southbound Connection Allens Ave, I-95 Southbound Connection Route, I-95 Connection Davisville Yard Track Improvements T.F.

12 Policy Recommendations 9 Continue to work toward enhancing and updating Rhode Island s long term strategic vision for freight Create the position of State Freight Coordinator within RIDOT Continue engagement with the existing FAC to ensure that freight is kept in the forefront in state policies Ongoing close coordination and communication between appointed Freight Coordinator and the FAC Pursue potential public-private partnerships or opportunities to supplement or match federal funding for state freight transportation projects Secure long-term, sustainable state funding to support the operation and maintenance of freight facilities Project Funding Implementation Plan Funding Sources For Projects The ability to meet the Rhode Island Freight Plan s goals and objectives is contingent upon the commitment of the state to develop and implement policies that support the freight transportation system, as well as adequate funding to support freight transportation facilities. Funding influences what investments are made and when. Some investments rely strictly on public funding, while others (e.g., railroads and pipelines) are supported through the private sector. FEDERAL FUNDING FAST Act Fuel Taxes Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) Surface Transportation Program (STP) National Highway Performance Program (NHPP) Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Imp. Program (CMAQ) National Highway Freight Program Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery Program (TIGER) Airport Improvement Program (AIP) RHODEWORKS RhodeWorks is a plan that will improve the state s deteriorating bridges and roads with funding from tolls on trucks. Implementing Recommendations & Strategies The state plans to further support its freight transportation system by: Continuing to engage its FAC and encouraging broader industry engagement and leadership in future plan development Updating the freight plan every five years, consistent with the FAST Act expectations related to freight planning. Establishing a dedicated State Freight Coordinator within RIDOT who would be responsible for updating the freight plan, coordinating the FAC, and generally serving as the liaison between the public, stakeholders, and the State of Rhode Island regarding freight transportation issues. Monitoring freight performance measures to determine whether investments are impacting freight transportation performance. Continuing efforts toward implementing RhodeWorks to ensure that the state is funding its infrastructure adequately, so that efficiency, connectivity, safety, economic competitiveness, and other important objectives can be advanced. Future Challenges & Issues The state s bridge and pavement condition continue to be a high priority for Rhode Island. Focusing investments on these improvements will be important to ensuring that freight transportation s efficiency and connectivity is improved over time to support economic competitiveness, safety, and other important objectives articulated in this plan. Bottlenecks on roadways and on the state s rail system must be addressed with the highest priority projects moving forward quickly. Other bottleneck and related congestion issues will require additional planning and design. For example, for priority freight investments, solutions to mitigate congestion and bottlenecks on the state s roadways are not fully vetted. Additionally, Resolving the vertical clearance issue for rail west of Davisville requires additional study. Efforts should be made to examine these issues more closely and develop potential alternatives to improve freight (and other vehicular) traffic on the state s roadways. The state s marine ports and airports continue to require investment to ensure that they are positioned to support economic growth and enhance safety and intermodal connectivity into the future. The Governor s proposed bonding for pier modernization in the Port of Davisville is an important first step. Other investments in the Port of Providence that will support its continued growth will also be a high priority in the future. T.F. Green Airport is currently conducting its master plan. At the conclusion of this study, investments are likely to be identified and may require funding to implement. Improving access and egress to and from these facilities are important next steps in improving freight flow, connectivity, and safety over time. 20
